Some sympathy is expressed for
Philip G.. Sheppard, of Greenwich, in
having a fine of $50 imposed upon him
for putting ice in his milk. This is all
right, but it hardly seems proper to
blame the State officials for doing
their full duty. The passage of the
law preventing the putting of ice in
milk, was necessary from the fact that
in some parts of the State, particularly
in the north, putting ice in cans of
milk was one of the most prevalent
practices for adulterating and increas-
ing the quantity of the product. Of
course law could not be passed that
would not apply to one as we'll as
another, and because of this, Mr.. Shep-
pard is the victim of fine. All dealers
in butter and milk should be very
careful to read up on the dairy laws of
the State, and by SO doing save
themselves considerable trouble.

THE DAM SWEPT AWAY
The Bridge at the Tumbling
Dam Washed Out.

Monday morning about half past six
o'clock, the strain of the great body
of water in the Tumbling Dam made
greater by the storm of Saturday
night, proved too much for the gates
at the main bridge, and the whole
structure was swept down the stream
in the swamp, and the small stream
which runs through the swamp to the
head of the Cohansey became rush
ing water course, and persons crossing
Commerce street saw the water
running down the Cohansey as from
cataract. The race gates were raised
and in a few moments the water of
that stream and Jeddy's pond was
soon out.
A visit to the Tumbling Dam by
PIONEER reporter revealed a strange
been seen there. The bridge and gates
were broken directly in two and both
parts had been swept down the stream.
The water was pouring through the
opening at a great rate, filling up the
swamp below. Communication be-
tween the raceway and Tumbling
Dam was entirely cut off on the west.
The water in the pond was'getting to
be very low, and the thousands of
stumps in the pond stood up six, seven
and ten feet high, perfectly uncovered.
The bottom of the pond, which is usu-
ally shallow, had been dug out by the
force of the water, and now it is six or
more feet deep. Boys were wading
about in the shallow places, capturing
fish which stranded, and some of the
boys found good many.
The mill hands in the nail works
were obliged to stop work there not
being any water power to run the
works. The back nail mill and sheet
mill will have to remain idle until re-
pairs are made. The rolling mill and
front nail mill will be run by steam.
Hundreds of people visited the place
as soon as they heard of it and the
sight they saw will not soon be for
gotten. The bridge and gates will, of
course, be Immediately rebuilt, and
the iron works started up as soon as
possible. The damage resulting from
the accident will be co n sid erable.
